US Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported the widower of a soldier who was killed in 2010 by insurgents while she was serving in Afghanistan. Jose Gonzalez Carranza came to the United States illegally when he was a teenager in 2004 and married Army Pfc. Barbara Vieyra three years later.

In 2018, ICE refiled a deportation order against Carranza and sent a notice to his old address. Carranza had no idea he was facing deportation and missed a scheduled court hearing. He was arrested on April 8th and was deported to Nogales, Mexico just two days later.
